Nice article with excellent selection of problems. So many originals also! Thanks Sebastien Luce!

Popeye calls it "Symmetry Circe" which is short and descriptive, so why a different name?

Indeed a very nice article and, as Sebastien writes, it is "very interesting for composers" as it provides a very broad field of possibilities. I'll be happy to have a full definition though. For example, in regular circe, if the rebirth square is occupied the captured piece disappears. In problem #7 by Mario PARRINELLO in both mates the queen can be captured but, apparently, since the rebirth square is occupied (automatically, due to the capture on the mating move) the queen cannot be captured.
